Just seeing if anyone knows the ST205: L947 NSS?
It's come up for sale and has seriously caught my eye, it's got quite a healthy spec so it can't of been built unnoticed!
There's no price on it, Iv got an idea of what it should be up for as I maybe tempted to swap my Evo for it.
Ad details below:
Up for grabs is my pride and joy, FULLY FORGED MASSIVE SPEC 490bhp proven Toyota Celica Gt4 jap import, around 15k spent, stacks of paperwork and photos of the build etc! Engine was built around 18 months ago and done around 20k miles since. 145000 km on the shell so around 90k miles so very low for the age. Currently running a healthy 490 bhp at 1.7 bar with room for improvements but the car is fast enough to say the least ! 4 wheel drive so puts the power down perfect ! Very well maintained whatever the cost, body is mint with no rust unlike most gt4s, really has to be seen to be appreciated, these are getting very rare now especially in this condition and spec list and are only increasing in value !

•big aluminium radiator with twin cooling fans

•(it had new genuine oil pump, water pump, full genuine gasket set, cometic 1.3mm headgasket, new timing belt kit etc etc)
•The car recently ran 490.5bhp on tuning developments rolling road with printouts to prove so the setup it's got works very well and there's room for alot more.

Agree with the above post.
The MX5 handles well and does look fun but on most tracks they get blitzed.
We've got a 306 GTi-6 for track use, had it 2 years and not actually got it on track yet but the recipe is there, cheap too!

Some places charge as little as £80 but that's a quick wizz over with an aerosol can!
If you've got the facilities, patience and don't mind getting messy then it can be done yourself but £400 is money well spent on it IMHO

Ask to speak to Dave.
Mine was £400, everything off from underneath, cleaned off, dried, cavity wax and underseal.
I left it there for a week as it had a cambelt change etc aswell

I always did 112 on the GT4, I think that was what the workshop manual stated.
There should be something online for the gen7 too
I always do the wheel nuts upto this torque and then check them after 30 miles or so
